CATHEDRAL – BEST GUESS

Cathedral’s new double album ‘The Guessing Game’ is an over-indulgent mess. What you love about Cathedral has been buried in excess and experimentation. You waited five years for this? Some of this material should have been left on the cutting room floor. I figured out that The Guessing Game is “guess which songs are the good ones.” So I played along and took my ‘Best Guess’. The rest is up to you.

HEATHEN – THE WAKE OF DESTRUCTION


Founded in 1984 by guitarist Lee Altus, Heathen rose out of the fertile San Francisco Bay Area thrash scene. The band’s debut, 1987's ‘Breaking The Silence’ on Combat, was followed by ‘Victims of Deception’ which was released on Roadrunner in 1991. Both albums were critically acclaimed and considered underground thrash classics. Remarkably, 2009’s ‘The Evolution Of Chaos’ picked up where ‘Victims Of Deception’ left off with a unique blend of thrash and power metal, high technicality and complex songwriting that few bands in thrash have been able to match then or now. This Barking Chicken Production demonstrates the amazing cohesion of material that spans 25 years and destroys the output of thrash rivals in terms of quality and craftsmanship.

DEATH - BEYOND THE UNHOLY GRAVE


Chuck Schuldiner (May 13, 1967 – December 13, 2001) was the singer, songwriter, rhythm and lead guitarist of the band Death, which he founded in 1983, initially under the name Mantas. He is often referred to as "The Father of Death Metal," and his obituary in the January 5, 2002 issue of UK's Kerrang! magazine stated that "Chuck Schuldiner was one of the most significant figures in the history of metal.” Although Chuck has left the land of the living, Death lives ‘Beyond The Unholy Grave.’

THE KINKS – DAVID RUSSELL GORDON DAVIES

David Russell Gordon Davies founded The Kinks with Pete Quaife in 1963. His brother Ray, who became the best-known member and de-facto leader of the band, joined soon after. Dave was responsible for the signature distorted power chord riff on The Kinks' first hit "You Really Got Me". He achieved the sound by slitting the speaker cone on his amplifier. This sound was one of the first mainstream appearances of guitar distortion, and it would influence virtually all rock, punk and extreme music going forward. Although it may appear that Dave has simply supplied the loud guitar accompaniment to his brother’s compositions, he has, in fact, built a large collection of his own material throughout the years. In celebration of Dave’s upcoming tour, this Barking Chicken Production collects some of his most notable contributions both solo and as a Kink.

SAINT VITUS – DOOOM

I was recently worshipping distortion and feedback at an Eyehategod show when I was reminded of their forerunners, Saint Vitus, a highly influential American doom metal band from Los Angeles. Saint Vitus have been regarded as one of the first bands of the genre, along with Pentagram and Trouble. The band was formed in 1979 under the name Tyrant, with Scott Reagers (vocals), Dave Chandler (guitar), Mark Adams (bass), and Armando Acosta (drums), but soon changed their name to Saint Vitus after the song "St. Vitus' Dance" by Black Sabbath. This Barking Chicken Production focuses exclusively on the material with vocalist Scott Reagers before and after he was replaced by Wino. Many of these tunes date back to the late 1970s, but were not released until 1984 and 1985. This, my friends, is DOOOM.
